Chapter 16: Enter the game
I don't know how long it took, Ji Lan finally calmed down, she plucked up her courage and came to the computer screen again, and unexpectedly, the terrifying photo disappeared.
The username does not exist: Next, do what I say, and you can save Gu Li. First, receive this file.
The other party sent another file.
Like a puppet, Ji Lan received the file.
When the file began to be transferred, Ji Lan suddenly came back to her senses, she clicked the [Cancel Receive] button, but it had no effect, closing the web page was ineffective, and even forced shutdown was not possible!
Ji Lan's hand reached for the power socket, but a huge dialog box suddenly popped up on the screen, occupying the entire screen-
Username does not exist: Don't do it! Unless you want this tragic story to spread all over the internet!
Ji Lan stopped.
The username doesn't exist: wait for the file transfer to complete, then follow the instructions inside, trust me, this is a huge opportunity to save Gu Li, but also save yourself, you will definitely not be disappointed.
As the file transfer continues, a line appears at the bottom of the chat dialog: "asdasdadasdad, 1234567890, and username do not exist and are offline".
"I didn't dare open the package right away. It took me the next few days to finally find a former junior high school classmate, I asked her about Gu Li, and she told me that Gu Li had moved to a school in the next province, but a year later, the news came that Gu Li had committed suicide. It is said that someone somewhere learned about Gu Li's experience of being reincarnated, and publicized it in school...... Gu Li's new school is a secondary school with a lot of bad students, and those people not only do not sympathize with Gu Li, but use it as a reason to bully Gu Li. ”
"At first, it was name-calling, spitting, and then things got out of hand...... Finally one day, Gu Li was dragged into the men's toilet by a group of boys...... And the next day, Gu Li didn't go to school. She stole money from her family and rented a house in another town...... Her body was not found until half a month later. The classmate told me that Gu Li committed suicide by cutting her wrists in the bathtub, and it is said that when the body was found, it was already full of maggots. ”
Hearing this, Cheng Cheng and I exchanged glances, and we both saw a chill in each other's eyes - this was a tragic and grotesque story, and it was told from a very beautiful woman, and there was an extra sense of horror that sent chills down the spine.
But Shen Tangzhi, who was sitting on the other side of me, didn't seem to be affected: "Assuming that I am the one who talks to you, as long as I obtain these materials in advance, it is easy to intimidate you with a little design." ”
Shen Tangzhi tapped the table with her fingers, her voice still had a unique sense of coolness, like a mountain in a winter morning, obscuring the sunrise.
Of course, Cheng Cheng and I also thought of this, probably because of men's natural sympathy for women, and we couldn't bear to say it immediately - Shen Tangzhi's calm speech reminded me appropriately: This beautiful woman in front of us is likely to carry 6 lives, she is not a poor lost girl, but a real devil - at least a servant of the devil.
Ji Lan lowered his head under Shen Tangzhi's gaze and snorted, "Later, I also thought of this possibility. I didn't dare to delete that package directly, and I didn't dare to open it......"
The secret forum on the dark web, when Ji Lan plucked up the courage to enter again the next day, she found that it was completely non-existent, and when Ji Lan clicked on the photo of Gu Li's death sent to her by the other party again, she found that this jpg picture had been damaged, right-click on its attributes, and it showed 0kb - no content.
In the following days, Ji Lan was riddled with nightmares.
In the dream, Ji Lan was standing in a dimly lit bathroom, and in the bathtub lay the corpse of Gu Li, surrounded by rats and maggots, and the corpse's miserable white eyes stared at Ji Lan...... The tap in the bathtub clicked, the fluorescent tubes overhead began to flicker, and suddenly, black blood sprayed out of the faucet, and the black and smelly sewage soon overflowed the edge of the bathtub and began to fill the room...... Finally, when the water finally covered the top of Ji Lan's head, Gu Li's corpse floated above Ji Lan's head, the corpse's mouth opened and closed, and countless maggots crawled out of it......
What she said was...... Help me......"
Ji Lan hugged her body, shivering as if she was cold, repeating the silent cry for help from Gu Li's corpse in her dream.
"That dream lingers...... I couldn't take it anymore in the end. ”
The heavy and terrible pressure almost caused Ji Lan to have a nervous breakdown, and the psychiatrist was helpless about it, because no matter what method was taken, Ji Lan would not be able to stop falling into that nightmare.
The only solution is to open the package.
The package is unzipped, and there is a txt text file inside, as well as an executable program in exe format called "The Game of Eternal Life".
The content of the text file is simple:
[Open that game!] All your doubts will be answered in the game, and further guidance is also included. Remember, it's not just a virtual world.
Also, save your hard drive, because even if the game program is copied, it will not run, and it can only be run by the hard drive that you downloaded for the first time. 】
"You played that game? What kind of game is that? I asked.
"An online game. The graphics are shabby and dark, somewhat similar to Diablo 2. ”
Ji Lan began to describe the game to us.
The icon of the game program is a silhouette of a shining human body, but you don't need to enter the account password or anything, after double-clicking the icon, you will enter the game directly.
It's a third-person online game, and the control style is similar to Diablo, but the overall art style is modern and realistic, not Diablo's fantasy style.
The character of Ji Lan's operation appears in a dilapidated city square, with thunder shining in the cloudy sky, and the surrounding buildings have a sense of the decay of the post-apocalyptic world in the movie, and the overall tone is an oppressive dark gray.
The game's graphics are 108,000 miles worse than the 3A masterpieces that are now all over the street, but for some reason, Ji Lan feels that everything in the game is extremely coordinated, Ji Lan just manipulates her character to move around a few times, and she feels an immersive sense of immersion, and this feeling, she hasn't felt from other games for a long time.
And the game characters controlled by Ji Lan, although the picture quality is very poor, it can still be seen that the character models are clearly created based on Ji Lan.
